Pennsylvania paystub law

What Pennsylvania law actually requires on a paystub.

Wage statement requirements

Pennsylvania 43 P.S. § 260.4 (Wage Payment and Collection Law) requires every employer to provide each employee with a statement of wages and deductions for each pay period. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry's Bureau of Labor Law Compliance enforces violations. Paydays must be at least semi-monthly. Pennsylvania has a flat 3.07% state income tax, plus distinctive local Earned Income Taxes (EIT) and Local Services Tax (LST) lines that appear on most stubs in the state — Pennsylvania's local tax structure is more granular than any state except Ohio.

Using a Pennsylvania paystub for proof of income

Philadelphia's rental market follows mainstream 3× rent verification, with some downtown high-rises requiring stricter standards. Pittsburgh's market tracks with mainstream verification practices. Healthcare employees in both metros (Penn Medicine, UPMC) produce institutional paystubs all Pennsylvania landlords recognize. The local EIT and LST lines on Pennsylvania stubs sometimes confuse out-of-state landlords; in-state property managers are accustomed to seeing them. Philadelphia also has a city wage tax that appears as a separate line for residents and non-residents working in the city.
